Qualify for Boston... missed it by 8 seconds previously

Run one of those rediculously aided Utah half-marathons helter skelter down a canyon and get a PR.

Personal:

Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

We went as a family to Zion's this morning for a quick day trip.  Hiked to the emerald pools upper, middle, and lower pools then to the grotto then back, for four miles.  Then did the riverwalk trail to where the narrows starts for 4.5 miles, then the weeping rock trail for another half mile.  Kids all did great and wanted to "trail run" most of it.  Great day to be out enjoying the free entrance into the park for MLK day.

Day 26: Ran from my house up Monroe Canyon until I hit 4 miles then came back home. Took it easy on the way up, and controlled but solid effort on the way back. Last 3 miles 7:20, 7:07, 7:04. I wanted to get a push in without a full on workout yet.  Don't think my joints can handle a workout just yet.  Maybe in a week or two.  Trying to build back up without any injuries.

Ran the Red Rock trail in Richfield this morning before work. Thankfully it was dry this morning. Tried to not push the pace and keep the effort feeling like a base run. AP 9:24, about 850' of climbing, first half in the dark

Headed to the big city for work this morning. Wanted to hit up Lake Mountain but woke up with a cold, and didn't want to hit it alone. Decided to run up View Benchmark but could not remember where the trailhead was. So... I tried another trailhead but the trail was pure ice and after 50 yds pulled the plug and headed to my old standby Corner Canyon. Started at the equestrian park and headed up.  It was pretty clear until Ghost Falls up to the fire road where it was icy and slow going.  Hit the fire road then went until I hit 4 miles then turned around.  Took a longer route on the way down, and enjoyed the groomed trails which I don't get too much of down here, and got into a nice groove.  Good run, I was starving after I got done and got some Hawaiin food  before heading home.  Luckily I did not fall asleep on the way back as I was tired.

Day 29: Came down with a cold yesterday and it was alive and well this morning.  Didn't want to push it so I rested this morning.  Ran a half mile on the treadmill at work to keep the streak alive, hope I can kick it soon.  Sore throat, congestion, and a cough good times...

Cut my long run in half and opted for the trails instead.  Ran with my dog along the foothills to the canyon above the hot springs headed up five miles then came back the same way.  Nice morning for a run, some congestion still from my cold, but the run helped to break it up.  Got done just in time to make it to my son's basketball games...about 1,600' of elevation gain the first five miles
